Word of the Day: Possibilities

by erivera7 on Feb 10, 2010 8:00 AM EST in Diversions

possibilities (n.) - a future prospect or potential

Via Brian Schmitz of the Orlando Sentinel:

[Vince] Carter might take more suspect shots, clang his way to other 2-for-13s and invoke more mourning of the loss of [Hedo] Turkoglu. It doesn't matter.

Because [...] Carter offered up more than points; he offered up possibility.

He doesn't have to be 48-points great again. If "Half-Man, Half-Amazing" can be just half that good at times, he can create possibilities for the Magic that extend into late spring, early summer.

I think Vince will finally fulfill the promise of his deal here

Vince has led the team in points the last three games, and the one immediately before that he still had 17, good for second on the team. If he continues this after the break, we will be one dangerous team.

More like two, what Ben and I wrote strictly about his 48-point performance (which was special).

The Morning After and Word of the Day posts have been fixtures of this site for a while. They don’t count.

Now, now.

Vince has had at least three good games this year. Maybe as many as 5-6, even.

The Magic are already dangerous.

If Carter continues to play like he has in the month of February, the team becomes borderline unstoppable.

Yup.

Exactly what the guy said, Don’t need 48 every night. the other team should just fear such explosions…

Exactly.

Just need him out there producing and getting everyone fired up. But the threat still lingers that he could have an explosion like mon. night.

I just noticed D12's defensive numbers are better than last seasons

as far as defensive rebounds & steals. He’s only .1 less on blocks this season at 2.8. I sense a 2peat.

It better be a two-peat.

The race for Defensive Player of the Year as is close as the race for MVP. Not close at all.

Yeah, Dwight has really picked his shot-blocking up in the last month.

Along with… everything else, really. But I recall saying a month or so ago that, while Dwight was probably the front-runner by default, nobody had really stepped up to claim Defensive POY. That’s… not true any more.
